Almond Chinese chews are a delicious and chewy treat that originated in China. They are made with almond flour, cornstarch, sugar, and eggs, and are often flavored with vanilla extract. These chews are easy to make and have a unique taste and texture that is both satisfying and addictive.

History of Almond Chinese Chews

Chinese chews are believed to have originated in the early 1900s in China. They were traditionally made with sesame seeds, honey, and sesame oil. However, as Chinese immigrants began to settle in other parts of the world, the recipe evolved to include more familiar ingredients, like flour and sugar. Over time, almond flour became a popular ingredient in Chinese chews, as it added a nutty flavor and a chewy texture that was highly enjoyable. Today, almond Chinese chews are considered a classic Chinese dessert around the world, and are enjoyed by people of all ages.

Ingredients in Almond Chinese Chews

The traditional recipe for almond Chinese chews includes the following ingredients:
  • Almond Flour
  • Cornstarch
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
The almond flour is what gives these chews their distinct nutty flavor, while the cornstarch and sugar provide the chewy texture. The eggs are used to bind the ingredients together, and the vanilla extract adds a delicious hint of sweetness to the recipe.

How to Make Almond Chinese Chews

Making almond Chinese chews is relatively easy, and only requires a few simple ingredients. Here is a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cornstarch, and sugar.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
  4. Once the mixture is fully combined, pour it into a non-stick baking dish. Spread the mixture out evenly across the dish.
  5. Bake the mixture for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top and firm to the touch.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the mixture into small squares or rectangles and serve.

Variations of Almond Chinese Chews

While the traditional recipe for almond Chinese chews is delicious, there are many variations that you can try to add some variety to this classic dessert. Some popular variations include:
  • Adding chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the mixture for an extra nutty flavor.

Almond Chinese chews are a delicious dessert that everyone loves. It is a chewy, sweet treat that has a nutty flavor that comes from the roasted almonds. Making this recipe is easy but it requires attention to detail to make sure that it comes out perfect. In this article, you will learn some of the valuable tips that will help you make the best almond Chinese chews that your friends and family will enjoy.

Ingredients and tools

Before you start making the almond Chinese chews, you will need to have all the ingredients and tools ready. Here are the essential things you need:
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour - 1 ½ cups of sugar - 1 cup of chopped roasted almonds - 3 large eggs - 1 teaspoon of baking powder - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Tools
- Mixing bowls and spatula - Parchment paper and baking tray - Measuring cups and spoons - Aluminum foil - Knife and cutting board

Valuable tips

Now that you have everything ready, it is time to know some tips that will make your almond Chinese chews turn out perfect.
1. Roasting the almonds
One of the most important steps in making the best almond Chinese chews is roasting the almonds. Roasting brings out the flavor and texture of the almonds, making them crunchy and delicious. Before roasting the almonds, make sure you have enough time to cool them after baking. If you put warm or hot almonds in the mixer or dough, the butter will melt, and the dough may turn out too thin.
2. Properly mix the dough
When creating the dough, it is essential to ensure that the mixture is properly mixed. You don't want to end up with uneven pieces that will alter the texture of the chews. After adding all the ingredients, mix the dough on low speed until the mixture forms a smooth and consistent mixture. Be careful not to overmix, or the dough will become too sticky and challenging to work with.
3. Use a proper baking dish
Using a proper baking dish is essential in this recipe. You want to spread the mixture evenly and ensure that it cooks at the same rate. One way to achieve this is by using parchment paper. It ensures that the chews come out evenly and that they do not stick to the baking tray. When spreading out the dough on the parchment paper, use a spatula and smooth it out gently.
4. Cut the chews with aluminum foil
Cutting the chews with a knife can be tricky since the mixture is sticky and can easily stick to the knife. An easy fix is to use aluminum foil to line the cutting board. This prevents the dough from sticking to the board and makes it easy to cut the chews into even pieces.
5. Store the chews in the fridge
Once you have cut your chews into individual pieces, it is essential to store them correctly to maintain their freshness. This recipe generates a lot of chews, so you may not consume all of them at once. To keep them fresh and to prevent them from drying out, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The chews can last up to a week in the fridge.

In conclusion

Making almond Chinese chews is easy, but it requires attention to detail to make sure that you end up with the perfect treats. By following the tips outlined in this article, you can be confident that you will make delicious chewy treats that your friends and family will love. Remember to roast your almonds, properly mix your dough, use a proper baking dish, cut your chews with aluminum foil, and store them correctly. With these tips in mind, you will become a pro in making almond Chinese chews.
